Well that backfired! Indian minister, 48, drinks dirty water from 'holy' river polluted with sewage to show locals it's safe... before he's rushed to hospital after falling ill

Definitely, there is a severe lack of strategic goals or planning from government, agricultural universities and people. It doesn't help when people elect governments based on freebies. People need to get over freebies and actually demand governments to take real action if they want votes. 

Promoting bhangra singers to political leaders is a major fudhoo move too. 

What does that say about our lot................

Bhangra isn't even Panjabi culture, its an amalgamation of many dances and hip-hop. Why is this being promoted on such an extensive scale?Why can't they promote sports on the same level? 

I'm an avid reader of Panjabi history and no one dressed like these Bhangra-dancers, which many claim to be epitomes of Panjabi culture.

But they want to do this, it's embarrassing (everything from costume to moves). I'm an avid reader of Panjabi history and no one dressed like these Bhangra-dancers, which many claim to be epitomes of Panjabi culture.

Yeah, one day I'll show the forum what the true 'scantily clad' dress was for jut men, before the big skirt somehow snuck its way in.

Depends on district. I've read several books and gazetteers on dress and it depended on weather, district/area and religion. For example, most men in Panjab regardless of community used to wrap a unstitched white sheet around the torso in summers and stitched shirts were only worn in winters. A short "Choli" blouse was worn by some communities but it became discouraged as more people adopted Victorian ideas of modesty. Even Indian Sari's didn't have a blouse, it was first introduced by Jnanadanandini Devi to uphold British ideas of modesty in public. Same with attitudes to breastfeeding became more closed, earlier it was considered very normal to do it in public but it was later shunned.

Ideas of modesty were different. I have a collection of old paintings, drawings and photographs to observe the changes in clothing. There are drawings and photos of women openly breastfeeding, as it was seen as natural. Today, something like this would be unimaginable in Panjab!

Might as well do it now. All you juts, this is how your recent ancestors really dressed - the saucy sods! Probably why dasmesh pita brought kasheras in! lol

Thats not the main dress. It's called a "jhaangiya" which was worn by sports-players, wrestlers and working men sometimes but it wasn't the normal or main dress.

I've seen a few paintings from way back explicitly mentioning juts as the subjects, and they were all dressed like this.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
